18. Data Analysis TIPS AND TRICKS

19. Index 1 and 2  Index 1: Met Standard  Data Reports show All Students and Student Groups  All Subjects  Index 2: Student Progress  Data Reports show All Students and Student Groups that Meet Minimum Size  Broken Down by Subject  STAAR and ELL Progress Combined

20. Index 3 and 4  Index 3: Closing Performance Gaps  Data Reports only show Eco Dis and Race/Ethnicity  Not ALL STUDENTS  All Subjects  ATAC has proposed revamping the Index  Lack of Math Data complicates issues  Index 4: Post-Secondary Readiness (Academic Component Only)  Final Level II on 2+ Subjects  Reports only show % of student groups who achieve it  NOT reported by subject

23. Data Files and Progress Accountability Reports  Exceeds is part of Meets  You Add Meets/Exceeds PLUS Exceeds to get Points  Example:  60 % of students Meet/Exceed  20% Exceed  80 points  STAAR/ELL Progress Combined Data Files  Exceeds and Meets are SEPARATE  You have to Double the Exceeds and Add to the Meets  Example:  40 % of students Meet  20 % Exceed  Double Exceeds to get 40 Exceeds Points  Add the 40 Meets Points  80 total points  STAAR/ELL Progress Separate
